IF YOU I-IAPPEN TO BE FOR-

interesting to read an article
there entitled "from Clinton ,to

I.Vfary Irwin, fermerly of Clinton,

A report from the office of Ag-
riculture Minister GoOdfellow
seems to indicate that there will
be .no chenge in the present meth-
od of voting for marketing sch-
emes , . . Same farmer groups
have asked that the percentage
taken should be of those voting
. . not of those 'eligible' but
who don't take the trouble to go
to the polls . . . Mr. Goodfellow
says he feels that it is in the
interests of farm commodity
groups that they be assured of
overewhelming support if they
want their plans effected with the'
least possible opposition.

Those who met him at the open-

few years ago . . will regret
the passing of Eldred J. Archi-
bald, the man who presided at
the official opening . . . For years
Mr. Archibald was on the staff
of the Montreal Star as an ex-
ecutive editor and editorial writer
. He was born here, and attend-
ed Clinton, Collegiate Institute be-
fore -entering Toronto University
. s. Mr. Archibald was a "comp-
etent and able newspaperman wh-
ose whole 'life was wrapped up
in his work," so said the London
Free Press, editorially . . We
heartily agree with this, and feel
that those who knew him will
deeply mourn his death . . , * *
